“RAFFLES" IN REAL LIFE
In September last aburglary was committed in a largo villa at Zurich, and was so cleverly performed that the police could not trace the author, who escaped with shares, jewels and money valued at over ARUM). A well-known linn of solicitors at Stuttgart returned all tho stolen goods to the Judge of the Zurich Tribunal and stated in a letter that under profesMonal secrecy they could not give the name of their client, who was a wealthy man, and who became a burglar like Raffles —‘‘under tho stress of excitement.” The German firm of lawyers hoped that as all the goods havo been returned and their client is very repentant, no further measures will bo taken in the case. The Zurich Judge, however, has other views, and demands the arrest of the burglar, adds the ‘'Daily Chronicle” correspondent.
